I don't care, it will never be as pretty as the 80s GTV6

Parked next to this when in Kingman, AZ in my Comanche.

Finally a place to use that picture I took of my M5 on a runway in front of a private jet!

I feel like people are moaning too much about the road manners of these. I haven’t driven the new Jimny so I really can’t judge, however I have spent a considerable amount of time behind the wheel of a 110k mile stock 1988 Samurai and find its road manners perfectly acceptable. The suspension is harsh on bumps but it…

Strange, I assumed they were built for tall people as I sat in one and turned around and couldn’t see over the top, also my eyes were just barely over the dashboard. I’m 5'11".

I've never heard basket weave wheels called meshies. 

I much prefer the e36 six cylinder filter housing. It has a tray that slides into the box that holds the filter.  The tray clips in quite easily.   Takes 30 seconds to change the filter, it might even be easier than the old round filter with a wing nut on an old American car.

Perfect 

If I were asked what is the most satisfying car to own, I’d say it’s my e36 M3. It’s exactly what I look for in a car. I’m sure the Tesla would be quite satisfying too even though it isn’t what I classically look for in a car.

I agree.  I am amazed at the size for what people do with them.  This past summer I had the pleasure of owning a smallish truck, a Jeep Comanche sport truck.  It was great having it as I'd never had a truck before, very useful for moving things without having to hook up the utility trailer.  I did have trouble with…

I forgot to plug in the factory block heater on my 99 Oldsmobile 88 yesterday, it still started perfectly.

I see bmw is still using the exact same setup for shift linkages they have been using for years.  That linkage is identical to the one in the e39 M5 I changed.  Also very similar to an e36.  The dual bushings on the upper rod connecting to the transmission was an improvement. 

I find any auto with 6 or more gears quite annoying as it is always changing gears at unpredictable times making it difficult for me to drive it smoothly or keep constant torque while driving in slippery conditions.  I don't mind the 4 speed auto in my Oldsmobile as it is easy to predict the gear changes and direction…

I had the pleasure of spending this past summer with a wonderful old dependable truck. I drove an 88 Jeep Comanche from Los Angeles, California back to Erie, PA then enjoyed if for the summer. It was an honest truck that was fun to drive and easy to drive as it was small.

Im a big fan of the looks of the Z3 and not just because it looks like a shoe. It’s classy up front and very muscular in the rear. The interior is also sharper with the classic 90s BMW gauge cluster and wild seats. I’d take either as they are both awesome sports cars but if I had the choice it would be the Z3.  As the…

The rental fleets in Europe all together are far more interesting than what is available in the states. When I was in Lyon, France, National rental gave me a fully loaded Opel Mokka with a 1.6L turbo diesel and a 6 speed. It was miles better than any model Chevy Trax (the Mokka is a Trax) you can get in the States.…

I learned to drive a manual on a 62 Sprite. It was a great way to learn, really taught you to take shifts carefully. Granted the ability to set the idle high with a knob on the dash was cheating a bit compared to most manuals...

The other part is the ecu will add fuel to keep the engine from preignition.  This lowers economy. 

My Sprite doesn't have exterior door handles.  Honestly it doesn't need them and is rarely an inconvenience. 

I just bought one and absolutely love it!  A 1999 Coupe woth a 5 speed in white over sand beige.  The e36 M3 is honestly my dream car and it's living up to my imagination of it.
